Ric Lambert Lexington Rifle
« on: May 23, 2022, 03:05:43 PM »
I'm posting this to for multiple reasons. 1) to show off, 2) to give Ric some add space, 3) because I saw a new post yesterday morning about a Lambert rifle with several replies and then it disappeared. Was I dreaming? Anyway, here is a .40 cal made in the Lexington Style I picked up some years back from Ric. Went to look at another rifle he had that had been posted on here and walked away broke when I made a multiple purchase. Back to the rifle, a trim little rifle that handles like a dream.

Nifty. I was going to build a couple of those but lost my steam. :P I need to get my act together and cast some of those boxes.

Ric Lambert was the man that got the last two flintlocks I made in 2019 and there have been no more since then.I delivered them to him at the 2019 CLA show in Lexington Ky.One of them did have a re-enforced cock.
The Elwell lock Chris Hirsch showed to us has a mechanism very similar to that odd caplock I made for Larry Vaden and it was a close facsimile. Total but functional simplicity.

Ric and his wife Pamela are fine folks. I think he likes to refer to himself as a gun stocker instead of a builder. He does a great job recreating the American longrifle. His wife is quite talented as well with her fraktur drawings and I believe also a master gardener.
Flintlock is the only truly reliable source of ignition in a muzzle loader.

 Ric makes some neat rifles. I really like one of his iron mounted rifles he usually brings to shows.

I enjoyed visiting with  Ric at the Knoxville show this spring. He certainly is a fine gentleman and very talented artist.
